About The Clover Chapel:
She took a dare and fell in love. Truth would have been the
smarter choice.
After years of living under her father’s thumb, Emmeline is
ready to break free. She’s abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow
her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing
the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in
Prescott, Montana.
Nick hasn’t seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesn’t
mean he’s forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful
night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep
her safe—far away from him. But the moment she walks back into his lonely life
is the moment he decides never to let her go again. He won’t waste his second
chance. All he has to do is win back Emmeline’s heart, keep her safe from the
shadows in his past and prove to her that taking a wager on him is a sure bet.
Exclusive Excerpt:
“What are you doing here?”
“Picking you up for dinner,” he said.
“It’s only three thirty. I prefer to put at least six hours between
meals and I ate lunch at noon.”
“I’m not here to take you now, Emmy. But I’m giving you a heads-up
that I’ll be back at five thirty. Don’t drive home.”
“You could have texted me all of this,” I said.
“Yeah. But then I wouldn’t have been able to do this.”
He crossed the space between us in a millisecond and captured my
mouth, wrapping his arms around my waist. His lips pressed roughly against mine
as his tongue swept my lower lip. Over and over he stroked until my mouth fell
open. When his tongue found mine, I melted. Heat erupted throughout my body and
my knees gave out.
When I started to sink to the floor, he stopped kissing me but
tightened his grip on my waist.
“I’ve got you.” A crooked grin formed on his lips.
I took a moment to steady my legs and stand tall before stepping back
a foot. The skin around my mouth was surely pink from the contact with his
beard. But at least it would match my flushed cheeks.
“Five thirty,” he said and walked out the door.
Shit.
Thinking clearly was not an option after a Nick kiss but I really
needed to pull myself together. I’d spent last night tossing and turning,
replaying all the things Nick had told me these last few months.
You’ve always had my
heart, Emmy.
We’re it for each
other.
I thought about you
every day for nine years.
And I thought about what my mother had said. That my heart had already
forgiven him and I just needed to get my head straight with that concept.
Sinking into my chair, I let my head fall into my hands. “What am I
going to do?”
I tried to picture what our life could be like. Me happy. Nick and I
living a normal life. But every time that image popped in my head, it was
immediately followed by the vision of me waking up alone to a note that said he
was sorry.
Time was ticking away and I needed to make some decisions. My attorney
had emailed me while I was in Italy to say he’d have my divorce papers drafted
by the end of the month. Nick was not going to stop inserting himself into my
life unless I made it clear we were over.
Were we over?
For nine years, I’d thought we were. But so much was different now. He
was everything that I remembered. Kind. Affectionate. Intelligent.
And stubborn. Every time I tried to push him away, he just pushed back
harder. But honestly, I really hadn’t put up much of a fight against his
advances.
“Ten seconds ago, you let him stick his tongue down your throat with
no fight at all, Emmeline,” I mumbled into my hands.
